calling subvi

[adeline]

Hi,
i had a sub-vi which consists of the codings to communicate with 2 instruments. I want to split up this sub vi into 2, such that my main vi will now have 2 sub vi, each for one instrument. i tried to duplicate the sub-vi and save the 2 new codings under differnet names. However, my main vi do not register these new codings as sub-vi. Is it possible for me to import them into this main vi? or do i really have to write out the coding for one instument again?
Thanks,
adeline

Adeline,

You have done half of what you need to do. Go to the diagram of the main VI. On the functions palette go to "Select a VI..." This will bring up a file dialog. In that dialog select your renamed sub-VI and place it onto the main VI diagram. Wire its inputs and outputs appropriately and it should work.
